Description
The record is stuck in my head, and the needle stubbornly refuses to skip to the next track. The same farewell, the same look - as if my memory has decided to play an endless loop, with no “stop” button.
The music here sounds like spinning around in a closed corridor: sometimes memories of stupid words, sometimes pain in my temples, sometimes another attempt to escape from the labyrinth that I myself have built.
The result is a story about how the past becomes the DJ of the evening - playing only one song, while the heart, alas, continues to dance to it.
Lyrics and translation
Original
We were on a ledge
Traveling on a back road maze
Tryin’ to get away
And we didn’t know where to go
And the time was a moving slowly
Our minds were a mess
We’d been put to the test too long
Darkness when you left me
Heartache since you been away
I can’t seem to make a change
Tell me why can’t I
Stop thinking about you
I’m thinking about you
On repeat
I keep seeing you saying goodbye
And those years they were clouding my eyes
Oh the pain
Up in my brain
Day after day
On repeat
On repeat
Tell you no lie
Take another little bite
Of those asinine thoughts of mine
I remember ever line
Every stupid thing
I was doing too much of the time
I take it all back, take it all back, take it all back now
I keep thinking about you
I’m sinking without you
On repeat
I keep seeing you saying goodbye
And those years they were clouding my eyes
Oh the pain
Up in my brain
Day after day
On repeat
On repeat
Killing me
On repeat
On repeat
On repeat
Killing me
On repeat
